best vegan macaroni salad EVER

I found the absolute BEST macaroni salad ever. And what's even better about it? It's vegan and I love all things vegan. You can not tell the difference between this macaroni salad and the macaroni salad that I had as a kid on sunny summer days.

The influence? We walked through the park on Saturday morning and it was BEAUTIFUL outside. There were tons of people having picnics and outdoor parties, I said to Steve how much I wanted to have a picnic and grill some food and for summer to make an appearance and sit outside all day. I decided we were going to have some "not-dogs" and macaroni salad. I have never made mac salad, especially vegan, but today (meaning Saturday) was the day.

Conclusions.. the most amazing mac salad ever. Easiest thing to make. So easy that I had to make it 3 times because we ate it all. Pat and Linda loved it as well, it is definitely making a ton of appearance this summer.

I didn't measure the additions of veggies so I can't really say what measures it was, I eyed it out.
